Data recovery

Is there any process of data recovery from a defect wd external hdd?

I depends on the problem. Sometimes data recovery software works or booting from a Linux Live Cd. If the drivee is corrupt it may be fixable with some software. You would need to provide more information on the problem, OS, and drive type such as elements or Mybook.
